The girl was taken to Lutheran Hospital. Sources told Schuck the child “clearly had signs of abuse” on her body, including rope burns around her wrists and signs of a beating. Toxicology tests showed traces of drugs in her system, police said.

A search of the apartment where she was staying turned up a small envelope with heroin residue in it, sources told CBS 2.

“Something happened here and somebody did it to her and they should be punished,” Johnson said. “If it happened in Florida and somebody did that to that little girl they should be punished.”

“I’m pretty sure nothing like that went on here, whatever happened it had to happen in Florida,” resident James Whittaker said.

“I have a 6-year-old daughter, so that’s very appalling. That’s not anything I feel any child should have to go through and I hope they do a full investigation for the child’s sake,” neighbor Laura Boston told Aiello.

Police said about an hour and a half before the girl fell, she ran away from the apartment because someone had told her they were going to send her away.

A person spotted the girl on the street and called police. Officers returned her to the home, where nothing appeared to be amiss, police said.

Sources told CBS 2 the girl had traveled to New York with Diana Metellus, her father’s girlfriend.
